Now running version 2.6.1

All went well really, couple of plugins also needed updating, but surprisingly smooth.
My only significant problem was when uploading pictures through the new style interface.
I post pics to a daily photo page and they are scaled to 710px, but when i posted and clicked use original the post would publish with a 500px version.
Not good, I found a solution here

Go to /wp-includes/media.php on line 84 and comment that line (//)

 // any other type: use the real image and constrain it
// list( $width, $height ) = image_constrain_size_for_editor
( $meta['width'], $meta['height'], $size );

Easy fix, it’s all good.

Stage 2 Phase 5

I am actually getting a little ahead of myself here, and first have to attatch the Ceres gear and Ceres itself.
Ceres also designated 1 Ceres, is the smallest identified dwarf planet in the Solar System and the only one in the asteroid belt. It was discovered on January 1, 1801, by Giuseppe Piazzi, and is named after the Roman goddess Ceres — the goddess of growing plants, the harvest, and of motherly love.

as you can see the absense of the moon has indeed changed our perspective.

A cup of tea brewing the spoon.
Preoccupied with the stirring to realisze the whirling.
